TRAILBLAZERS - PAINT BALL Saturday Nov/6th

Trailblazers is relatively new to the Manikikki Nation. Over the last few years we have had a number of events like Laser Tag, chartered Lake Erie fishing trip/camping, snow tubing, and we even spent a weekend at the Write Patterson Airforce Museum in Dayton. Our next event is Paintball at Clays Park south of Canal Fulton on Saturday November 6th. If you are a current Indian Guides Member you are more than welcome to attend. If you are a past member I ask that you let me know that you are a past member and you are interested in joining Trailblazers. There will not be an annual dues this year for Trailblazers membership, however, to be a member in 2011 we will ask that you pay a $20 fee that will go to the Y. We are currently working out the details of the real definition of Trailblazers so it can be written into the constitution. If anyone out there has had experiences with other Trailblazers programs, or just has suggestions, please let me know.

DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT:

We will meet at “SPLAT” inside Clays Park at Noon on November 6th. There will be two packages available:

2 Hour Splat 4 Hour Splat
200 Paintballs 500 Paintballs
$26.99 Per person $34.99 Per Person
Plus tax Plus tax

ALL equipment is provided for the above rate. You are allowed to bring your own equipment, however there is no discount. For liability reasons you are NOT allowed to bring your own paitballs. You can purchase extra balls from Splat.

If you have never done this it is a lot of fun! Be sure to wear heavy dark clothes and dress in layers. Given the time of year you will likely get muddy – making it a fantastic father son event! Yes – even dad’s get in on the action! To learn more please see Splat’s web site www.splatpaintball.org

I will send another email out requesting a head count in a week or so.

If you have any questions about this event or any more general questions/comments about Trailblazers PLEASE don’t hesitate email me!

If you are not interested in receiving Trailblazers emails please just let me know and I’ll take you off of the list. If you know someone who I’ve missed and should be added please let me know that as well.
